Bo: anothet lynching, and many a time it J tation and lmetion: in its wake. is the innocent, not the guilty, who suffer an ignominions death at hands of-a frenzied mob. Men who, thirst- ing, animal-like, for revenge, are no- thing less than lords of anarchy and privileged destruction; outlaws of na- ture: Dickens, in one of his books, compares a mob to the ocean. The ocean, he says, is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when arous- ed, more unreasonable or more cruel, What is the future of the American negro, is a question that has often been propounded, Booker Washington has endeavored to' answer it at Tus- kegee; Paul Lawrence Dunbar has re- plied in his beawtiful poems and his clever prose. Theke two representatives of the black race have demonstrated the fact that the negro can rise in thé scale of being as has the white man. Fusion of the two races is im- possible; one shudders at the thought. To deport them to their ancestral home on the west coast of Africa is beyond the range of possibility. To exterminate them is not to be thought of, That they may be crowded out by a more rapidly increasing white population is a fallacy. What, then, 18. to be done? Where lies the solu- tion ? To my mind, A. R. Colquhoun, in the' North American Review for May, advances the most reasonable solu. tien. "The great panacea suggested for the evils of the condition of the negro race," he says, "'is education. * * * * The future of the American negro chiefly ' depends upon the Am: eficah white man. His is the respon- eibility. First, in all justice, get rid of: the idea that "the negro cannot vise, that be is 'a helpless, hopeless log, t6 be forever whirled about .in the torrent of civilization. Then, be honest with him as with yourselves. Treat him as a man of alien race, un fitted in his present 'stage of evolu- tion for seli-government or the full rights of citizenship, but "as a man, notwithstanding, not as a tertium quid between man. and dog. Encotr- age him in his struggle upwards by a generous acknowledgment of his achievements, and by allowing him to glean, in a fair and open field, what ever his talents may entitly him to." The writer, who has. gone thorough dv into" the 'question, contrasts the difference in the treatment accorded to the negro in the United States and in the British West "Indies. The com parison must be odious t6 Americans. He says : "Jamaica should be carefully studied by all who are interested in the future of the negra. The conditions of life there were very similar to those in the south in the amte-bellum days. The commercial sasion © in the West Indies was unfavorable to the de. velopment of the pegro, but 'in spite of it he bas made strides. In morality, for insthnce, there is a remarkable improvement; crime is comparatively rave and trivial. An instructive anec- dote which illustrates this was told me recently of a lady who lived in the island nlove on her plantation, many miles from any other . white people. "Are You not afraid 2" she was. asked, and she replied : "Oh, no! We have plenty of black meh'about the place!"

International Sunday school lesson for May 17th, is found in Acts xxiv., 10-16; 24-26. The golden text is Psalm xxiii., 4. The place is Caesa- rea, and the time A. D. 58. When our last lesson closes Paul had been brought under guard to Caesarea, the Roman capital of Palestine, and had been imprisoned in what was origin- ally Herod's palace. It. was now the governor's official residence. The "or- ator" the Jews took with them was their advocate or lawyer and conduct- ed the case. He began in true Orfen tal style by flattering the judge. The Jews, 'through their lawyer, made three charges. While Felix had not been a good ruler, he had heen active in ridding the country of "robbers and impostors who deluded the multi- tude." The first charge was that Paul was ohe of these very troublemakers whom Felix was trying to get rid of; the second charge was that he was a zarenes"" (Christians), and the third, that he was guilty of sacrilege, having attempted to profane the temple hy taking Gentiles into the forbidden clo sure, in his defence- Paul took up in order the three charges. He began courteous- ly but with no flattery. "Forasmuch as I know * * * * I cheerfully make my defence." He was especially glad to have a judge who had known the Jews for a number of years, for the better the judge knew them and their religious fanaticism the surer would be be to understand the situation. Paul's sfay had been short and his record could be easily looked up. Paul fiatly denies the first charge--the only one that would seem serious to a Roman-- and challenges proof of his guilt. The second he frankly admits. Paul claims, however, that he does not belong to an heretical sect, because (1) he worship. ped the true God, (2) be reverenced the Hebrew scriptures, (3) he believed with the Pharisees in the resurrection of the dead. Herein: In this faith. 1 also exercise myself: I school myself to "do right, strive to have a clear conscience which, even to Paul, was not always easy. Verses 17-21 give Paul's answer to the third charge. Felix saw that no' case had been made out against Paul, and yet he did not want lo anger the Jews, so he simply adjourned the case until an- other time. Paul was sent back to his prison, but Felix did not forget it, and kept sending for Paul and talking with him. Of course he expected Paul to offer a bribe for his freedom, but that does not account for his action, which was that of a msn seeing the truth, and fascinated by it, and yet i? too weak to accept it and live y 1t.
